Why Is It So Hard to Leave Abusive Situations?
It can be hard to leave abusive situations. A lot of times, some people don't even realize they are being abused - or believe it. And when that denial ends and it's time to leave, there could be other reasons why a person doesn't 'just leave.'

I Saved a Mans’s Life
local lake in Wisconsin This happened about 20 years ago now. A friend and I were bored and had nothing to do. We decided to go out to our local beach. Normally it is so crowded in the summer that you are lucky if you can find a place to sit down or even go in the water it is overcrowded.

Autism in a Nutshell
People ask me all the time what it's like to be autistic and I really can't sum it up in a simple sentence or adjective. Autism is me, I am autism, my own little human spot on the spectrum. The spectrum of me, the spectrum of autism. I would not be the same person if I wasn't autistic, my personality, my taste, the way I walk and talk and even interact in my daily life would be different. The way I respond to stimuli would change, my senses wouldn't be so sensitive or sharp as a tack. I wouldn't be the same person at all. I wouldn't dress the same, I wouldn't like the same foods or even have the same friends in my life as I'm sure my interests would be vastly different. Without autism, I am not me, just the same body for different entities.

Desire for Enlightenment
In my own experience the path to enlightenment, was by far one of the most challenging processes any human will ever, consciously walk in a lifetime. When that moment arrives, we don’t know exactly where we are headed or what the bigger picture of this journey looks like, that we are about to embark on. But it is a feeling in our soul that tells us, wherever it is that we are about to go, is a very different place then where we are currently or where we have ever been before. And the more we try to resist this calling, the more the universe will make life so completely uncomfortable & unbearable, that we really have no choice but to follow it’s calling. This directions are always for our most desired outcome, though it doesn’t always feel this way at the time.
